The first thing my father told me about working on cars was to never get under a car that's being held up by a jack. If the car is not 100% supported by stands, you don't stick any extremities under it.

Guys, never be in a rush under your cars, and always think of what "might" happen.

I treat maintenance under my car, as a "get in, get out" type of operation, though I've found myself looking up at random shit and cleaning it, or just looking up at random shit. Then I think, "What the hell am I doing? "

I don't remember who it was who said to do this, Kyle maybe? But now whenever I take a wheel off and get under the car I put it under the car close to where I'll be working. So if the car falls for some reason at least the wheel helps a little. If I'm not taking a wheel off I just use ramps.

Even with all that though, I'm still terrified to get under there.
